Summary
“It’s okay that you miss him,” said Lan Wangji, a familiar litany to them both by now. “Do you feel sad?”
“I feel sad,” A-Yuan repeated, shoulders hitching with tiny hiccuping sniffs. “When is he coming back?”
“I don’t know. I am not sure where he is.”
But this seemed to frustrate A-Yuan. “Xian-gege! I miss him! Please, baba?” He looked up at him with wet cheeks and a wide, quivering frown. “Please baba can you ask him? I really miss him!” He sobbed again, heartbreakingly.
It stabbed straight through him, cracking open the reservoir of loss and helplessness that was all his own. His child’s grief did that, sometimes. It always took him by surprise. He caught his breath sharply and gathered A-Yuan into his arms, holding him tight until the pain ebbed.
“I will try,” he said softly into A-Yuan’s hair, when he could speak again. He never made uncertain promises and tried not even to raise uncertain hopes, but his son was hurting. His son believed he could make it better. He couldn’t not try.
Wen Qing might at least know who this “Xian-gege” was. He would text her in the morning. It would be a start.

Summary
“I hate you. I hate you so much that it makes me sick even thinking about your face. But… I will indulge myself selfishly tonight. One last time.”
“...What’s that suppos’ta mean?”
“It means come here, you foolish Doctor. Kiss me, before it is too late.”
Drunk and hopelessly pining for his married rival, Il Dottore makes a mistake. A human child sized mistake, that looks suspiciously like one as well.
In an effort to draw Pantalone's eye one last time, Il Dottore makes himself a new segment. A vessel, complete with all the "attractive" features Pantalone adores. However, like many of Il Dottore's experiments, this one goes awry when the incubator stops early, leaving a lost and helpless child in its wake, one that Pantalone just happens to stumble across and take pity on.
Now, faced with a furious Pantalone and agonizing feelings, Dottore is forced to play father to this little monster (which he hates). That is... until he starts getting attached to it. Oh no. He's caught feelings to it already, and he's only had it for two seconds. Not only that, but Pantalone is growing ever closer to him, too close to be "just" coworkers any longer.
Tsaritsa help them both.

Summary
Secure. Contain. Protect.
These are the words Zhongli lives by, working his way up the ranks of the SCP Foundation—an organisation dedicated to protecting humanity against anomalous threats. Now a respected researcher, he has spent the past two months as a consultant in Sumeru. His time on his current case at its end, the details of his next assignment arrive: he will relocate to Snezhnaya to assist with the initial analysis of a freshly contained SCP—a creature infused with forbidden energy and an insatiable drive to fight any who dare enter its containment cell.
For a man who has built his career on the principle of protecting humanity, his new assignment will test his resolve as he discovers that there is humanity even in the most monstrous of appearances, and a little bit of monster hidden in the places least expected.

Summary
Pantalone meets one of Il Dottore's clones: Though it's not the one he expected. Instead of the asshole that looks like a clown with his weird half mask, he gets a literal child, who's too cute to refuse.
Although... The child is not similar to the Doctor at all. In fact, this kid is as far from the Harbinger as one gets, weirdly helpful and quiet, barely speaking unless he was thanking Pantalone or giving information.
It was strange. Unusual. As if this child was never the Doctor in the first place.
What happened to make the Doctor into an apathetic asshole, if his younger self was so shy and polite?
Tl;dr: Pantalone meets baby clone and decides that it's his kid now. Dottore has to begrudgingly raise it with him and somehow also gets affection along the way (which he did NOT agree to).

Summary
Xiao is the name he was given upon his new contract with the great dragon Rex Lapis, but before that, he was Alatus, a weak adeptus twisted to the whim of the God of Dreams. The blood on his hands and karmic debt on his shoulders corrupt his Heart and drive him toward death, until he happens across an otherworldly light stumbling through a lonely valley.
Aether has visited and fled more worlds than he can count, careful never to get attached, but this is the first time he's truly been trapped on any one of them, stripped of his power and split from his sister. He is certain he will starve and fade, chained by his immortality to a life of unending agony, unable to even put himself to rest— until he meets a lost and achingly gentle adeptus who brings him new hope.
It will be a long time before either of them learn how to receive the love they are given.

Summary
“Childe?”
And Childe simply tightens his hold. Were he lucid enough to think clearly, he’d probably rather destroy the funeral parlour than utter the words he said next.
But he is too far gone in his delirium by now. He barely even thinks when the words that should be buried deep inside of him find their way to his tongue.
“Don’t go.”
OR
Through plot convenience, Childe gets sick and Zhongli takes care of him.

Summary
Amiss
adjective
- not quite right; inappropriate or out of place."there was something amiss about his calculations"——
“My, to what do we owe the pleasure? I didn't expect you back until next month, Albedo.” a smooth voice spoke from Albedo’s left, the blond looking in the direction of the sound on instinct.
Kaeya Alberich, the Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius, was leaning against a wall by the Grandmaster's office, holding a few sheets of (presumed) paperwork.
A signature sly smile decorated his soft lips, his uncovered eye glimmered in dangerous curiosity as it locked onto the blond- no doubt the most interesting thing in the empty hall.
“Kaeya.” Albedo greeted in acknowledgement, his tone level and unbothered as he made his way towards the taller man.
—Or—
Albedo knew that his worsening shoulder pain was strange, scary, even, but the flutter and ache in his chest whenever he saw a certain Cavalry Captain felt a lot more out of place...
And a whole lot more terrifying.

i think you're so good (and i'm nothing like you) by TrashcanWithSprinkles

Summary
Ajax had a soulmate mark, just like about half the population of Teyvat did.
If Ajax ever found his soulmate, he would pretend to be normal for them. He would observe from afar if possible, and make sure nothing happened to them. That no ailments ever came to them. That they never came to lack anything.
That was the plan. Or, at least, it had been, until the Tsaritsa requested an audience with him alone and asked to see his mark.“Tartaglia,” she began, serious. “That is Morax, the Geo Archon.”
-------------
Or, Ajax is Morax' soulmate, the Tsaritsa ships him off to Liyue, and he has to pretend like he doesn't feel like he's not good enough for the Geo Archon.
[the word count up to chapter 14 was 69 420 and i think i won't achieve something as beautiful ever again]
